There should be a seal, red in color, that goes in where the needle screws in. Marineengine.com will have the part and or part number. That seal adds friction to the needle so it will not change adjustment on you as well as seals against an air leak in. As far as your throttle goes I believe you have a cable operated throttle. Disconnect the cable end at the engine and see what part is creating the issue, Cable, timer base, throttle arm, etc. </blockquote>
